Abstract
Allele frequencies for 17 short tandem repeats (STRs) autosomal loci (D2S1338, D3S1358,
D5S818, D7S820, D8S1179, D13S317, D16S539, D18S51, D19S433, D21S11, CSF1PO, FGA, PentaD,
PentaE, TH01, TPOX, vWA) were studied in an extensive sample (max. N = 1411) of unrelated individuals originating from the Czech Republic. Population and
forensic parameters were estimated. Except for FGA and Penta E loci, no deviations
from the Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium were detected. A comparative analysis with published
data revealed significant differences in allele frequencies for some loci from the
Polish population and three Hungarian populations (Ashkenazim population and Romany
populations from Debrecen and Baranya County, respectively). A combination of these
17 STR loci provides a powerful tool for forensic identification in the native Czech
population.
